UK Based EE to Recruit 500 Customer Facing Apprentices
Published on:
UK based mobile network operator, EE has announced plans to recruit 500 apprentices by 2015, although the roles will be in customer care and retail stores as opposed to the technical division.
EE confirmed that it plans to offer the majority full time employment after their 15 month apprenticeship is completed.
EE has been trialling the scheme over the past year in its Customer team, and has so far recruited 101 apprentices. Ninety percent of vacancies, which are open to all and require no previous experience, have been filled by candidates under the age of 22, with a quarter of them aged under 18.
Jobs will be available across the UK, with 100 opportunities in EE's retail estate by the end of the year. A significant proportion will be in areas of high youth unemployment as five out of six of EE's contact centre locations, including Doxford, North Tyneside, Merthyr Tydfil and Darlington, are in areas where the number of young people on Jobseekers Allowance is above the national average of 7%.
EE added that it will also launch a graduate scheme in the coming weeks.
